See Davids R. and Jellinek D., Provenance Beacon Press 2011 p.298 for the following entry on Francis Brodie Lodge (1880-1967): Lodge, Francis Brodie (1880-1967) of Flore House, Northamptonshire, and his wife Enid, whom he married in 1929, both of whose names appear on their collection label. Francis Brodie was the second son of the scientist Sir Oliver Lodge. He was educated at Eastbourne College and worked in the offices of the shipowners Booth & Co. in Liverpool for five years. He and his brother Alec started the firm of Lodge Brothers, later to become the highly successful firm of Lodge Plugs. After his marriage he became interested in Chinese porcelain (said to have been initially stimulated by a friend who was a portrait painter and showed them some early celadons) and began collecting, gaining further inspiration from the Royal Academy Exhibition, 1935-1936, which he and Enid visited 24 times. On the advice of Sydney Moss, they joined the Oriental Ceramics Society, where they became great friends of George Eumorfopoulos, Sir Percival David and Sir Alan Barlow among others and lent 17 pieces to the Oriental Ceramic Society’s Song Exhibition, 1949, 11 to the Society’s Exhibition of Enamelled Polychrome Porcelain of the Manchu Dynasty, 1950, and 2 ceramics to the Society’s The Arts of the Ming Dynasty, 1957. She also lent 3 pieces to the Society’s 50th anniversary exhibition, The Ceramic Ar t of China, 1971, including the blue and white narcissus bowl, Xuande mark and period, formerly in the H.F. Parfitt Collection. Specialising in Longquan celadons, the Lodges’ collection included Shang bronzes, Tang and Song ceramic wares and Ming and Qing porcelains. It was sold through Sotheby’s in December 1968, March 1972, July 1975, July 1978, December 1980 and June 1988. A small group of early wares followed in a sale in Shropshire (Halls Fine Art). A Longquan celadon brushwasher bought for Robert Barron by Bluett’s in 1988 for £6,820 from the Brodie Lodge Collection was sold in 2005 for US $333,000. Edgar Bluett wrote articles about the collection in Apollo. Pieces in his sales were ex-Leopold Hirsch, Sir John Wormald (2), Leonard Gow, Edson Bradley and W.M.N. Reid. Lots were sold at Sotheby’s sales on 21 January 1964 (lots 33-56); 6 July 1976 (lot 91); 11 July 1978 (lots 96-104, 111-116, 120-126, provenances cited being Eumorfopoulos (2), Daniel Hall, the Misses Alexander and Martin Erdmann), and 16-17 December 1980 (lots 525-529, 559 and lot 666). They were also clients of Sparks and Sydney Moss. Provenance; Enid and Brodie Lodge Collection and thence by descent through the family.

The international Jewellery Trade generally accept these methods. it is not possible for Halls to obtain gemmological reports on all stones offered for sale and therefore all Halls Holding’s estimates assume that gemstones have been enhanced.
